Budapest & Balkans - 15 daysExplore the Hungarian capital of Budapest before departing for the Balkan countries of Serbia, Slovenia & Croatia on this 15-day tour. Enjoy included sightseeing in Belgrade, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Split and Dubrovnik. Take a catamaran trip to the island of Hvar, see Lake Bled and delve into Slovenia's spectacular Postojna Cave. Enjoy a 3-hour tour of the magical Plitvice Lakes, take in the best of the Istrian Peninsula and end your tour in Croatia's most popular destination - Dubrovnik!Worldwide Touring15We loved the touring through Northern Croatia and Slovenia, especially the wine tasting and truffle hunting demonstrations. The areas around the Gorisca Hills and the Istrian Peninsular were fantastic. Plitvice Lakes were also excellent, would have liked to spend more time there. There were some days of long travelling, but unavoidable given all that was on the tour to visit, and I'm glad we covered the area we did.

So were all city guides , except Alan in Lublianja. We enjoyed all the wineries and truffle hunting was very good. The 3 corners hotel great. Belgrade hotel has not replied to our request for refund. Big noisey party so no sleep til 2am Many of the hotels were tired and had problems with the room aircon. A bit better spacing of food and lunch/ free time if possible as some days was very late lunch after early breakfast. A little bit more info day prior on timings of when can get lunch might help us prepare and location of toilets.

He is such a professional in all he does, safe driver, highly knowledgeable, flexible, ensured the van was cleaned everyday.

Our guide Veljko was fantastic - he was very personable, provided us with great insights, was very attentive to the tour group individual needs, and quite articulate. The tour itinerary could have been better. The stops did not align well with preferred lunch times - free time for lunch was either too early like 11 am or quite late after 2 pm. Food options (we are vegetarian) around the lunch stops we're quite limited. the hotels were not upto the standard we were given to expect for the Superior tour. While the beds were comfortable and breakfast was sumptuous and the staff very friendly, the rooms were cramped. and most of the hotels did not have an in room coffee maker, did not have a gym. The carpets were stained at most of the hotels. Certainly not quality 4-star accommodation that we were promised.

Why start in Budapest
A classic Hungary highlight with big sights, easy exploring and memorable Danube moments
Budapest works well as either a first stop or a final stop on Hungary trips because it delivers major landmarks without long driving days, and it offers an easy introduction to the country’s history and culture. With the Danube dividing Buda and Pest, a guided tour is a practical way to connect the city’s key districts, viewpoints, and stories, while free time lets you slow the pace with riverside walks, cafés, and the city’s everyday street life. If you prefer a structured plan, many itineraries include organised sightseeing in Budapest and, in some cases, a tour leader throughout the full journey. If you want more independence, partly guided options typically keep essential transport and headline touring arranged, while leaving space to wander, shop, or linger in neighbourhoods that catch your interest. Budapest also suits group travel especially well: the city feels vibrant after dark, and shared experiences such as a boat ride and panoramic lookouts naturally lead into a relaxed group dinner. Many Hungary itineraries form part of a wider Europe route, so Budapest is an excellent choice if you want the variety of multiple countries without losing Hungary as a clear focal point.
